Today, manufactured homes are appealing to a broader segment of homebuyers, from first time homebuyers to retirees looking to downsize. While manufactured homes used to be a real step down in quality as recently as 10 years ago, today’s manufactured homes offer a quality option at a more-than-quality price. Nowadays, you can purchase a quality Manufactured Home with cathedral ceilings, granite countertops, tile or hardwood flooring and even a fireplace. The exterior looks have greatly improved also with optional lap siding, 4/12 or 6/12 roof pitch and a covered-porch, just to name a few options.

 

Granted, the value of such a home depends on whether or not you put it on your own land or in a “trailer park”. If you own the land and have your manufactured home placed on a permanent concrete foundation, it’s treated like a traditional home, including tax benefits and appreciation.
